I AM MARCELA!

Professional photographer in all black blazer and pants smiling while posing with DSLR camera against light background.

I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan. As a mother of three, I deeply understand the value of preserving memories—those fleeting, special moments that make life extraordinary. That's why I specialize in capturing timeless, luxurious weddings that tell a story for generations to come.


With  near to 6 years of experience in the industry, I've had the privilege of working with incredible couples and families, helping them hold on to the most precious moments of their lives. My approach combines an eye for detail with a passion for creating stunning, evocative imagery that feels as genuine and timeless as the memories themselves.


Whether you're celebrating your wedding day, an anniversary, or any other life milestone, I would love to be a part of your journey and help you create a visual legacy you'll treasure forever.
